Posts Tagged ‘Crawley comes together for Milly’

On Sunday 27th March 2011 the sun shone and the people of Crawley came in their hundreds to help raise money for ‘Milly’s Journey’.

Now you may think this is done all the time….but, not organised, promoted, and pulled off in just two weeks! This is not the only event being held to raise funds for Milly. Milly is a five year old who needs proton treatment for a brain tumor. This treatment can only be given in the USA. Today we met Milly for the first time and her courage and happy attitude was touching. Milly was a joy to meet. Milly’s parents Paul and Emma were hands on during the day and never seemed to slow down. This family are a credit to our town. The community showed that by turning up in their hundreds. We believe the total was 946!

It really was a brilliant event with children having fun and adults socialising while enjoying the weather. We will get a list of all the helpers on the day and will let you know. But the real thank you goes to those caring people who came and donated by having a tea or coffee, or buying a plant, guessing the number of sweets, or having one of those yummy cakes

More to come……

We put together some pictures of the day and a video of interviews by Shelley.

ROWFANT HOUSE IS SAVED!

The Directors and Staff of Rowfant House Ltd are delighted to announce that we have raised in excess of £1m through a private investor which will secure our business going forward and ensure all members of the community can continue to enjoy the delights of this beautiful place.

Rowfant Trading Ltd, our hospitality business, is now taking bookings with immediate effect for functions and the Christmas season. As a result of this investment, Rowfant Care Home’s future is also assured which comes as a huge relief to us all.

We would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere thanks to all of those true “Friends of Rowfant” who have helped to make this possible – not least our very generous and supportive investor but also the many musicians and other performers who gave up their time for free to make the Rowfant Summer Sessions such a big success. Many loyal customers have also played a very special role in the saving of Rowfant House – you know who you are and we cannot thank you enough.

We look forward to welcoming you warmly back to Rowfant and to your participation in the next exciting phase of our journey. Watch this space!
